Project description:Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is a tumour type with rather low five year survival, around 60%. The poor survival rate has been ascribed to late detection, a high frequency of locoregional recurrence, the occurrence of secondary primary tumours and death due to comorbidity. One reason for development of recurrence is thought to be the existence of transformed cells in areas adjacent to the primary tumour, cancerization field effect. The aim of this study was to map the changes in the tumour free tongue tissue adjacent to tongue tumours compared with healthy control tongue tissue to better understand the cancerization field effect. Tissue biopsies were collected from tumour (T) and tumour free tissue adjacent to the tumour (TF) from patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Control tissue was collected from latter border of the tongue of tumour free healthy volunteers (C). All samples were homogenized and RNA was extracted. The RNA was biotin labelled and run on Illumina HT-12 bead chip array.
Project description:A majority of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have inadequate access to antiretroviral therapy and ultimately develop debilitating oral infections that often correlate with disease progression. Our study evaluates the potential of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected rhesus macaques to serve as a non-human primate model for oral manifestations of HIV disease. Microarrays were used to characterize changes in gene expression in the tongue mucosa that occur during chronic SIV infection. Dorsal tongue tissues from healthy uninfected macaques and macaques with chronic stage SIV infection were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Microarrays were used to characterize changes in gene expression in the dorsal tongue epithelium that occur during chronic SIV infection.

Project description:Base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (BTSCC) is a common tumor of oropharynx worldwide. In addition, BTSCC is a lethal disease and its treatment results in significant disability. Considerable importance is given in lifestyle, particularly tobacco and alcohol use, in cases of BTSCC. It was postulated that BTSCC arises if the ability to metabolize carcinogens, to repair DNA damage and to control cell signaling and cell cycle are defective in individuals with continued exposure to benzo(a)pyrene, ethanol and acetaldehyde. Since these abilities are inherited and vary among human beings, healthy individuals may be at distinct risks for BTSCC. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples.

Project description:41% of all oral carcinomas have been found to localize at tongue, where they were characterized as being aggressive and having capacity to locally invade and relapse frequently. Despite considerable enhancements in the cancer diagnosis and treatment techniques, tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) still remains to be one of the most common and lethal cancer types in the head and neck region. In this study, we aimed to identify a signature of saliva-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) expression in TSCC patients. To explore putative diagnostic biomarkers, we compared the miRNA profiles of saliva samples obtained from 3 TSCC patients and 4 healthy control individual using Agilent miRNA microarray (V19). Three of the differentially expressed miRNAs were selected for further validation with quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) using saliva samples of 25 TSCC patients and 25 healthy control individuals. Microarray analysis demonstrated that 428 miRNA probes were deregulated in TSCC patients when compared to control group and qRT-PCR results validated the reduced expression of miR-139-5p in TSCC saliva. Further analysis of post-operative saliva samples of TSCC patients revealed that miR-139-5p level elevated to normal level after surgery, pointing its diagnostic and prognostic power. As a conclusion, we propose saliva as a feasible source in routine patient examination for early diagnosis of TSCC patients, and our results suggest saliva miR-139-5p as a novel potential diagnostic marker.
Project description:Nine groups of rat tongue tissue RNA samples, including three from normal control, three from 4NQO induced tongue tissue, and three from 4NQO induced and IL-1Ra interference tongue tissue (3 rats per group) were collected for gene microarray hybridization.
